Collaborators Philippa Jones and Martin Hill shape environmental elements into visual circles in remote locations around the globe. What makes them so unique is that many of these sculptures incorporate elements of the environment into themselves, such as the arc that doesn't appear as a complete circle until the water is still enough for a reflection.
"The use of the circle refers to nature’s cyclical system which is now being used as a model for industrial ecology. Sustainability will be achieved by redesigning products and industrial processes as closed loops—materials that can’t safely be returned to nature will be continually turned into new products. Of course this is only one part of the redesign process. We need to use renewable energy, eliminate all poisonous chemicals, use fair trade and create social equity."
"My photographs are made with the same sunlight that powers all the earth's living systems. ... I hope people reflect on their relationship to natural systems and how they can help to improve it through the way they live their lives."
